Looks amazing.

If you haven't read the book, seriously, read it. Get story, developed toons, good humor, well-paced...

looks interesting

good book

Man, that looks awesome!! I didn't know Ford was black. And Marvin doesn't look as clunky as I imagined. The Vogons look perfect though. I wonder if they can make Prostetnik Vogon Jeltz's poetry as painful as it's supposed to be. I can't wait to see this movie.

Yeah, doesn't Mos Def play Ford in this movie version? I think he was white in the other version, which I believe was a miniseries.

I saw the teaser at the movies a few weeks ago. It starts with a picture of Earth with some peaceful music playing. Suddenly, Earth blows up and the words "Don't Panic" flash on the screen.

I think I was the only person cheering.....I'm such a nerd. I really hope this movie is done well. I guess I'll find out in May.

Lol, that looks pretty good! I'll have to read the book though.

You'd better read the books first. Or else you'll have no idea what's going on. Half the fun is knowing what comes next and seeing how they're going to pull it off.

Ford's not black, he's an alien

That bad poetry would be awesome, but I doubt it'll make it into the movie due to time restrictions since it's not integral. That's why books are superior, but movies are awesome in their own way.

It sucks

 

[N8 v2.0]

Just got back from see HGG.

I give it 3 stars, although it only contains a tiny portion of the dry, understated humor of the book (or the Beeb series).

 

[Echo]

3 out of 5 or 3 out of 10?

I would have probably given it 3 out of 5.

 

[bullcrew]

Lame! just got back 10 min ago from seeing it and given there was a couple of parts (shovels and the whale) that were funnier than $h!t.
Wouldn't see it again.
Do see it once though.

3 out of 5 or 3 out of 10?

I would have probably given it 3 out of 5.

Yep 3/5.

 

[Skookum]

Thanks for all the fish.

OH what's the point?

 

[FreeHueco]

I give the movie a solid 4/5 rating. They changed a lot from the book, but the story is still funny, and well worth watching.

 

[Hungry_Hank]

i think it gets a 3/5. of course, the book was better. but the movie wasn't bad.. it just wasn't good either.


but there is just something funny about a depressed english robot. everytime he spoke i cracked up.

 

[Kntr]

I thought the movie sucked. I almost left 1/2 way thru. Read the book and skip the movie.

 

[Hungry_Hank]

yeah, the book was definatly better.

 

[chicodude]

The book will always be better. ALWAYS.

I just didn't like it because they tried to make a love story outta aurthur and trillan

 

[binary visions]

Saw the movie last night. I thought it sucked ass.

There wasn't enough of anything. Arthur wasn't bumbling enough. Trillian wasn't outspoken enough. Zaphod wasn't zany enough. Ford wasn't odd enough. Slartibartfast wasn't eccentric enough. The pause before the jokes wasn't long enough. The delivery wasn't deliberate enough. The list goes on.

The love story was awful. The "point of view" gun was ridiculous. The movie seemed like it was slapped together in someone's garage during the course of a week, then rushed off to the theater.

Ugh. The only decently interesting characters were Malkovich's character (who wasn't on-screen for more than 10 minutes), and Marvin (whose voice I recognized immediately and the character was excellent). Oh, and the Guide was kind of cool. 1.5 starts out of 5.

 

[Skookum]

i had thought i had read the book years ago, but apparantly i hadn't. i'm glad i didn't, it would have made an average movie suck. i don't read books anymore, bad for the eyes.
